Is it hard for you guys to play sympathetic characters? I find it hard.

Not too much. If your character has had a similar experience, or anything like that, then all you need to do is sort of play off of that.

To be honest, I don't fully understand the process, it just happens.

My achilles heel are straight-forward characters
As anyone can tell ye, I have yet to have a character that isn't cryptic

Yeah but I'm not sympathetic. I'm a bigoted misanthrope. I'd be better off playing as a jerkass who attacks others. Ah, but I pick nice guy characters to compensate.

Otrue...

Actually what I meant to say was:
None of them are really....shallow.
Except Lisa...
They all have traits that would allow them to be sympathetic/understanding.

Knowing what the character knows and what they experienced along with their attitude toward those things automatically dictates what they would be sympathetic towards.

To me half is understanding. The other: attitude.

@Major

I'm sure you can find just a little bit of sympathy. After all, you have your own experiences, and based off those, you can come to an understanding how others would feel. Even if you haven't gone through something similar to what they've gone through, you can put yourself in their situation and think about how you would feel in their shoes, to go through what they've gone through.







@Cucoo

That sounds about right.

Looks like sh*t is going down here. And just when I had gone to visit another city. This one was closer to home so I didn't have to get up so early or travel so far (but I still had to go to bed sooner hence the random disconnect last night).
What is everyone up to?

@TRXD

Welcome back!

What happened?

[Kristia]

hi tr, Im studying for an exam, so..

cya later and you will see a calm person or a depressed person (exams.. ultimate emotional destroyers..)

[Cucoo5]

@s121
Right

Even though my characters are obviously idealized fragments of my own personality, they each have their own quest and stories defined by a journey.
Thats why I'm so adamant about "endgame." As to me that is the summary, the final product of the character's personalities. It defines who they will be.
But it also defines how experiences will change them.

These changes then affect their personality and by knowing what they will be can tell you what they are.
Like reverse engineering a robot.
By taking it apart you can see how it was put together.
And what you find when you take it apart may be interesting as what you see is not what you really get.

So Cucoo the Venturian galaxy is the one everyone is in? How is it destroyed?

[Cucoo5]

@ Wonder

oh right

ok so key phrase:

the Venturian Galaxy is dead

the native races (Irians, Vatians, Papilians, Arcains [Luminarcs and Noxarcs], and Nihiliods) are all extinct as well as the Humans that also existed in the Galaxy.

...except the Demonarcs in the Manor of Eternity as that sort of serves as a literal sanctuary against the eventual death of the Galaxy.

Even though things had plenty of resources...everything died out...
That is the mystery of the galaxy.

Why did things die out? What happened in the Galaxy prior to colonization?

That's how I want Phoenix to go...
As things progress...the characters should find ruins and remains...
these things should start to make them kinda ask a few questions...
These questions then lead into the prior parts (I and II) and they will explain to the readers what's going on.

Also just to clarify:

The Venturian Galaxy was once referred to as the Eternal Galaxy....
Ethereal Galaxy is not a typo in my initial location tag...
begin conspiracy theories: now.

Oh and also there were two galaxies known as Venturia
The original had already died hence why the replica was created.
Part I took place in the replica before the realization that there was a second one used as a sort of afterlife (the dead would be reincarnated into the original Venturia)
